My name is Alex (she/her), thank you for taking the time to click my profile. I am really looking forward to getting to know you. I appreciate you taking this first step, it is not easy to prioritize our mental health.
I look forward to hearing from you soon! My approach to care is trauma-informed and person-centered. This means that I am more focused on "what happened", not "what is wrong with you". Everyone has layers, there is more to YOU than just the symptoms you are currently experiencing and/or the events that you have been through in your life.

As a licensed clinical social worker with more than 40 years experience of working with families and individuals of all ages, I find that the most effective approach is one that is strengths-based with a strong emphasis on helping clients solve the problems that bring them to me for therapy and also on helping them develop powerful resiliency characteristics that allow for future problem-solving, conflict resolution, goal-attainment, wellness, and life satisfaction. My ideal client is one who likes to learn. Trauma survivors, in particular, do well with this approach.

The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

On the outside, you may seem like you have everything together. You’re responsible, dependable, and often the one others rely on. But internally, you may feel overwhelmed by racing thoughts, constant worry, loops of overthinking or obsessive thoughts, or be constantly trying to keep everything “just right.” You might struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a deep fear of letting others down. For many individuals, these patterns may be rooted in earlier relational experiences where you learned to manage everything alone, stay hyper-aware of others’ needs, and push your own feelings aside.

My ideal client is a woman experiencing anxiety, stress, or a significant life transition who feels overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or uncertain about her next steps. She is often seeking space to slow down, make sense of what she’s experiencing, and feel more grounded and steady in herself. She may find herself overthinking, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from her usual sense of confidence. Her goals typically include improving emotional regulation, increasing self-understanding, and feeling more confident, balanced, and connected in navigating daily life.

Our early life experiences shape our sense of who we are and our feelings of safety in relation to others. When something goes awry, we can struggle to understand who we truly are and what we need. We find maladaptive ways to ease pain, look to others to meet our needs, or isolate ourselves. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, experiencing adversity, or feeling stuck in old patterns, I would like to help you gain clarity. Through therapy, you can learn to identify and meet your own needs. You can uncover your innate capacity to find meaning and create joy in your life.

My passion is helping families, teens, and young adults resolve issues in their lives and experience growth and hope for the future. I work best with clients who want to identify their triggers and stuck points that cause OCD, anxiety, or identity considerations (be it LGBT, new diagnoses, life transitions, faith journeys, etc.) and use their own strengths to overcome these concerns.
